Homemade Sriracha sauce
I always say if food tastes fantastic you don’t need to keep eating more and more of it to be satisfied. Well that’s my excuse for putting Sriracha sauce on EVERYTHING at the moment anyway.
I adore this stuff. It’s sweet, salty, savoury, spicy and sour all at the same time and lifts things like eggs and stir fries so they make your eyes pop out with food happiness. I don’t really trust manufactured sauces so I wanted to create my own, it’s a beautiful thing.

Nutrition Info
Chillis
Chillis are high in vitamin A (betacarotene) which is good for eyes and a potent antioxidant. Obvs you’re not going to get a huge amount from chilli sauce or chillis added while cooking so it’s important to eat lots of red and orange coloured plant food too!

If I were a condiment I’d be Sriracha because I go well with other things, I’m too much for some people and hipsters like me.
